RE: Microsoft .net and XSLT 2

Hi Oleg,

I'm working with the 2.0 beta of .NET and it has XQuery 1.0 support - you
are saying that it will not be supported? That sounds rather strange to me -
please explain.

Cheers,
<prs/>

That's old news. Current state is as follows - neither XSLT2 nor XQuery in
next .NET framework. A subset of XQuery will be implemented in next SQL
Server. That's it. Next .NET will include another XSLT1 processor, compiling
XSLT into MSIL code and apparently very fast at run-time.

For the future I see a trend of extending C# to adopt XQuery/XSLT
functionality instead of implementing them.
